Answer:

3/7

Step-by-step explanation: You can reduce the given fraction by 2 but then you will have to keep reducing until you can no longer reduce.

Method 1: 18/2 = 9

9/3 = 3

42/2 = 21

21/3 = 7

Method 2: 18/6 = 3

Take a large number that both, the numerator and denominator are divisible by. Therefore, the answer in simplest form is 3/7.
